FireFox 3 errors

I recently upgraded to FireFox 3 and am suddenly seeing numerous errors in the error console. See http://www.milonic.com for an example. Most are of the form "reference to undefined property I[xx] where xx is various 2-digit numbers such as 55, 27, 34, etc. These are listed as warnings, but they are making it more challenging to locate other errors that may exist as I work on pages.

Hi,

You should be able to find out where the error is using the FF error console. For example, I have a page now that shows a bunch of errors



I'm working on my desktop and when I click that file:///C etc, it opens the css_tools.css file. It also will do it on the web when I go to the page with the error console open and then click the link of the error. If you can provide us with a url we can try it. I'll have to get FF3, but maybe I can also test it in my 2.0.0.14 and see if I get errors

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed FF3 and went to Milonic main site and when I clicked the error console I got no errors showing

I should clarify: there are no errors, but there are numerous warnings. When attempting to use firebug addon, this becomes an issue as it doesn't distinguish between warnings and errors in it's display of the console (effectively displays all)

I've had FF3 up since last week and have seen no errors at all on the Milonic site. Just checked again to be sure - still completely error-free.

Left-field thought. How did you get FF3 - by Update or a complete new download? Mozilla was having problems with the Update function on D-Day. Some folks were apparently able to get the new version by Update. I wasn't, and resorted to a fresh download. I'm just wondering, if you did use the Update method, perhaps it had a problem. If so, maybe a clean download would help.

I had done a clean install on D-Day, but just downloaded and installed again.
On a hunch, I did a search and found an article that pointed out the following option in about:config:
javascript.options.strict was set to true. When I changed it to false, I stopped getting the warnings.

That's interesting. Mine is set to false which it indicates is the default. It's amazing how much stuff is in there.

Regardless, glad you got it taken care of.
